When love becomes addiction and you lose yourself..it can get ugly

"Who are you to interrupt my interlude with my love so dear?
Order a pizza and leave me alone. I am in a battle here!
Real world doesn't exist to me now, it is all about my 'WOW' WOW,WOW!
Leveling up, me and my cat. Now level 90! Ha, Top that!
Death never reaches me, I am the queen! Me and my kitty are awesomely mean!"

"Oh whatever, you act like I am on crack- don't you
Forget , you bought me the game! You are so totally wack!"

"What? Yes, I have showered today! Please let me be, I just wanna play!
Are you saying I am addicted? Say what you may, I will claim victory by the end of the day!
Really? You say I can't quit. I just play a little bit. When YOU play, I don't throw a fit!
Come on, I just got on! My Tiger needs fed and there are battles to be won!"
Realization is sudden- the payment is due, no money! My God! What will I do?
After two months, my auctions will be lost. Why, oh Why, is there such a high cost?
Faltering now, staring at the screen. Trying to log on, WOW- now just a dream...
Tomorrow, I think, I will start a new life. You my dear love caused me much strife.


Note: I played World of Warcraft for about a year. In that time, I became totally addicted. I think they have subliminal messages ingrained in the game somewhere. I have been free from this former love for about a year now, but I must say she is a hard habit to beat. I can just see a blood elf char and start to feel a twitch. I am not even one who likes these sorts of games...but dang I was good *Pthb* I am a 40 year old woman who is a Preschool teacher who dislikes violence....but once the game got a hold....

The game is no longer allowed in my house. There is actually a SouthPark episode about the game. I didn't get all fat and pimply....but it{/} got ugly...
